That was a very funny post. Well done

Have you got anymore

As people know i'm no hock fan, but he was certainly unfortunate today, acton just a loose canon, rowley needs to get a grip of him, boy how we missed ryan today.

One day they'll learn,if you actually decide to play RL, you'll actually have a chance of beating us.

Hocks first yellow was deserved. Messing about in the ruck with a ref who allowed us nothing, then gobbing off when the inevitable penalty was given.

The second was a disgrace. Punched by at least 2 Batley players and threw none himself. Got a card for being Gaz Hock!

Acton gets on my nerves. Had a run of games where he was one of our top performers. But today you could see the explosion coming a mile off. Shouldn't be near the first team until he learns to control his aggression at least a little.

Simple Iggy,stick a man in who can CONTROL the game..He just let too many things go.And then we end up getting involved.And the game ends up cack.

I agree the ref had a shocker. Some of the pens he gave were ridiculous and there was no consistency in controlling the play the ball.

That said, Acton is a liability and was looking for a fight. For what he's contributing at the moment it's not worth the risk of playing him

I think Acton is being a bit hard done to here. In my view it was a deserved red. However I think he was sent on because it was going to kick off, and his job is to protect the team. He didn't throw first. He left the scrum to join the defence as normal, then went back to help Higham who was involved in a 2 on 1.

A rugby field without protection is a dangerous place, especially for those believing the incompetent third grade whistle blower will police it. We need to sort this once and for all because the WF post codes have caused no end of problems in recent weeks.
We started the season playing fast free flowing RL but it soon became apparent teams could not beat us by trying to be better than us - and our stupid head patting etc was an excuse to drag the games down a few levels to even things up, encouraged by poor officials.
We have a responsibility to get back to what we do best and cut out the silly stuff, but we can only do that with strong officials who allow the game to be played to the rules with a clean ptb and pace on the game. If we get this then the problems go away overnight imo

Amen to that!

I agree about some of the officials but 'cutting out the silly stuff' should happen irrespective of the quality of the officials.

A few negatives from the game but nothing much. Hock deserved his 1st sin binning, messing about in the tackle, hit the player then had a go at the ref, all just stupid and unnecessary. His 2nd was for being set upon by 2 Batley players was absurd & pretty much summed up the refereeing performance; didn't know you could be onside while stood directly in front of the ref! I Still don't see what Hock does better than any of our other props though. The fight well, Yorkshire team goes behind in a game where the ref had no control, the same thing happens every time that situation arises. Funny how there's been no trouble at any of the London games where London have just wanted to play rugby, or the Haven game where the ref stamped out all the slow messing about tackles from Haven right from the start, odd that.

Still a few small negatives a lot of big positives for me. At Mount Pleasant in the pouring rain with a 5 m offside we're not going to be able to play our usual style so we took our chances when they came and defended spectacularly. Try line defence has been a problem last few games, get within 10 m & teams were going over, to keep Batley out the amount of possession they had right on our try line that 1st half was brilliant. Bob Beswick was brilliant playing pretty much the whole 80 both as hooker and at half back showed how skilful and fit he is. Finally back to the LSV next week, so much space to play with on a flat properly drained surface, can't wait.

Well said as usual, LS.

You miss Brierly.

Not if the silly stuff is created by the official..Thats were it goes wrong Reffy..

The official does not instruct one player to assault another. Players have their own minds atomic. As i have said previously one or two of our players need 'resting'.

Did you actually read that nonsense before you hit 'submit'?

Dont remember seeing Hock or Acton in the Broncos game.

I did,and also copied and pasted it to notepad so I can use the same line on you next week.

and that is relevant to my post,how? I mentioned no names, you did.

Although the irony can't be missed that Hock was absent for the London game through suspension.

PR and his coaching team will have discussed all matters pertaining to this Sunday with our players.

Sheffield are a very good Championship side so I am sure we will go with our best available and strongest squad.

Corn't argue wi that Frank.

I agree, we may only differ on what we feel is our strongest team.
